The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation announced a new way for the public to report in-water sightings of healthy sea turtles. It is intended for use by boaters, captains and others who see them in the waters around the region. The data collected from the citizen science project will help researchers identify high-use areas and learn more about seasonal habitat shifts. To participate, download the “ArcGIS Survey123” app from the Apple App Store, GooglePlay or Amazon Appstore. It will need permission to access your phone’s location in order to receive GPS coordinates of your sightings and camera/media to capture and attach pictures. To use the app, click “Continue without signing in.” Once logged in, download the SCCF’s survey by scanning this QR code. To submit a sighting, fill out the required fields in the survey and click the checkmark in the lower right corner.
